Moriarty visits Watson to complain about being harassed by Holmes and explains that he was the tutor of Sherlock and his brother Mycroft until "the tragedy" happened.

After noticing that Holmes is staking out Moriarty's home, Mycroft visits Moriarty while Holmes is away and compels him to immediately travel to a certain address in Vienna by alluding to their previous connection.

A surprised Holmes, who had not known Freud beforehand, immediately deduces that he is a brilliant physician with radical theories and is convinced by Freud to admit that he is addicted to cocaine and needs help.
